Trailer up for Guacamelee! 2

As we announced a few days ago, Guacamelee! 2 is coming to the PS4. Developed by Ontario, Canada based Drinkbox Studios and described as a Metroid-vania style platformer that brings the best from it's inspirations of Metriod style movement and Castlevania style combat. It is the sequel to the 2013/2014 Mexican themed mayhem brawler, hence the 2 at the end of the name, and follows hero Juan Aguacate as he dons his luchador mask to save Mexico, and the world.

Some features for the sequel:

Eagle Boost – A hooking mechanic that allows Juan to attach and fly through “boost points” in the environment.

Super Chicken! –A unique set of abilities for the chicken form, giving the player more varied and interesting chicken gameplay

4-Player Local Co-op – Take on enemies as a group or solo.

New Environmental Mechanics – Throughout the course of the game players will encounter many new mechanics to complement both platforming and combat.

Visual Enhancements – A redesigned lighting system to take more advantage of the power of the PS4. Guacamelee! 2’s visuals are a big step above those of the original game on PS4, and are enhanced further to include 4K and HDR support when played on the PS4 Pro.

The game looks like a good time. No official word yet on a release date other than sometime in 2018. While the original Guacamelee! was cross platform across consoles and PC OS's, this one looks to remain a Playstation Exclusive.
